I am also a practitioner of IAT (Integrative Aquatic Therapy-David Sawyer, Annie Brook)WATA, with it's prenatal implications, now is my favorite. As a WABA-Instructor of WATSU and WATA, since 1993, I have taught more than 300 Seminars in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Iceland, Hawaii, India and ChileThis has enabled me to develop a very personal and unique view on how to support the opening of broadened perception, rich creativity and a space for feeling safe of my international students.
